Hi Guys,

I'm having problems where I cant make outgoing calls. I get the following in my SIP logs:

Also, once I get this error I hear the reorder(?) / busy tone on my SIP phone, but the strange thing is that my mobile will actually ring a few seconds later and show an incoming call from 0280036300. When you try to answer this there is nothing there....


Any Ideas? Do i need to change something with for new SIP Server ?

I dont know if anyone else can confirm this, but it appears to be related to the "from" address in the invite.
I have a phone in my study, with a display name of "study" & when the invites contain:

From: "Study" <sip:0240170721@sip1.exetel.com.au>;tag=71DC306C-2C3

I get the 500 error, but If i change the display name to "0240170721" so that from invites contain:

From: "0240170721" <sip:0240170721@sip1.exetel.com.au>;tag=B70B24-1EF1 things start working again..

Is this a result of the new SIP server ? I also cant figure out why the called party sees an incoming call from 0280036300 when I get the 500 error ??

if you use a name in the from address rather than a number it can cause problems in some configs, it may have worked ok with the old SIP server but you are probably better to use the actual number, in this case it might cause the same issue if a name is used in an ATA rather than a number, haven't seen any reports of this issue as yet but the new SIP server was only recently deployed

Hi Jok11n,

Any idea why I am seeing a call come in on the called number from 0280036300 everytime I get this error?

no idea sorry

I have had the same problem over the last couple of days. Outgoing calls show up on the receiving phone as coming from 0280036300 plus calls either dropped out after about a minute or did not work at all - both outgoing and incoming.
Had a name in DisplayName, not a number. Have just reset this to the number and it shows up ok now on my mobile. Haven't tested the calls yet as it is a bit late

Hopefully that has resolved the issue. Strange that we have both had the same number displaying.

I'm using a Cisco ATA-186

I had a feeling it would be a name in the display field problem, the number you were seeing I think is one of the gateway numbers

Same problem occurred on X-Lite. It's now more or less confirmed by Exetel that the only information you can now have in the Display field is the account number. Anything else prevents it from working. This is true for all types of VoIP devices on the new SIP server.

Correct, it must be the outgoing number from now on
